I'm trying to decode some raw EAP frames by putting them in the Linux SLL PCAP
format. When using the "Decode as..." feature to override the protocol to EAPOL
for the Ethertype specified in my PCAPs, I can't always get the correct
decoding depending on the protocol type in the SLL header. For examples, if I
specify types 0x0 or 0x1, the decode override *does not* work. If i specify
types 0x800 or 0x1234, the decode override *does* work.

I have attached some test pcaps as well as the script used to generate them,
like so:

ruby eapol.rb $((0x1234)) > ethertype1234-ok.pcap
